Online Structured Products Training Course
As you probably know there are numerous structured products on the market and they are often complicated, which means professional advice is usually required to ensure consumers understand the potential risks and returns involved.

Regrettably some of this advice has not been appropriate and the FSA are rightly cracking down on advisers and firms who don’t meet their expectations.

Where a structured product meets a client's needs and risk profile, then an adviser should have sufficient knowledge of these products to be able to recognise this and make a recommendation to buy this product. Even where advisers find they never recommend structured products then knowledge of this area is still needed in order to justify that decision.

We have developed a comprehensive online training course to help ensure such gaps in adviser’s skills and knowledge are addressed.

The course will enable advisers to understand the background and development of the market for structured investment products, as well as the underlying investment components and the risks to investors.

The course is supplemented by online study notes, an audiovisual presentation, revision tests and final multiple-choice assessments. A CPD certificate is also provided showing the user’s CPD time and assessment results.

This Wizard Learning Structured Products training is competitively priced at £40 including VAT see here for details.
